If you want to train with either of them, cost won't be an issue if you are dedicated and serious. It won't be free, but arrangements can be made for serious students.

The closest Matsumura Seito Instructor(That I personally know/recommend) is Tristan Bonaventura(Yondan). She lives and works in Ottawa. I know that that is some distance from Toronto. If you are truly interested or have specific questions, please pm or email me. I would be glad to give you some more info.

Cobra, do you currently train in any style? If you do, you either train seriously and are dedicated or you dabble in it. Either one is fine, as it suits your personal needs. If yo DO train seriously, you know exactly what I mean.

Oldman, I'm sorry to say that i do not know any MSSR teachers in KC. I'm glad you have an interst, I wish that I could help

Still doesn't explain what you mean by serious. I've trained in Canada for about 15 years, and I teach. As well, I tend to practice on my own. I sweat and sometimes my body hurts from the striking I do against the Makiwara, Heavy Bags, Speed Bag, etc.

If by serious do you mean I have an interest in Karate, yes, I do. I wouldn't be asking about this style if I wasn't

At the same time, I don't know if I wanna be knocked out in my first training session, or even at all. I would prefer I not be DAMAGED. Seriousness is relative.
